Turned out to be a great afternoon at Sandown!...........JFK and Jack went at it together for several sessions of 3 really hot, nose to tail laps. The times tumbled throughout the day with JFK finishing on FTD 1:18.4, and Jack an amazing P2. 1:18.7 (PB by nearly 3 secs!!)......Was awesome to see/hear them driving the wheels off 2 very evenly matched cars.

Yeah well I guess you can say I'm STOKED!!!

After last weeks misfortune I decided to not give up and have a good crack at it...

Did a 1:19.7 in the first session, was wrapped with that time and would have gone home a happy man. But as the day went on, and I got my head around some of the tricky corners, the car went faster each session...

Following JFK around the track was priceless, he is an absolute maniac behind the wheel.... He really knows how to control a car...

So to finish with a 1:18.70 has actually left me (and a few others) stunned.. Its was my third (full) track day at Sandown.....

Lastly, a big thanks must go to Benno, for getting the car all sorted during the week and giving me the chance to race today.....

Congrat on the super quick time Jack, it has always been a pleasure to see your car in action.

It was a quite day actually, good for people who wants to improve their time at Sandown. Who own that V-spec II R32gtr? Came all the way down from SA to race at Sandown.

that was a great day, only 33 cars so plenty of track time... I went home at about 2:30 after having about 25 laps... in one of the morning practice sessions I had 12 clean flying laps! definately recommend the maserati days to anyone who is keen, the guys are pretty relaxed and friendly... they even told me to pinch some metal valve caps off a Dino that was in the car park to pass scrutineering hehe...

I now have a severe case of thrashed brake rotors but managed a pb of 1:29.75

and you guys in those 3 GTR's are all mad... officially

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
